After a few days in Roma, we ventured onto a speed train with our tour guide Jill and Professor Wolter, into Florence. Put simply, this city is beautiful. Our first night here, we ate the best pizza from Gusta Pizza, it was definitely delicious, well, all the food has been.

The next day on the public bus to Siena, in which the small city was “magnifico”, I say that, because we stopped with our Siena Tour Guide, Marco, to get pastries at “il Magnifico”… I think everyone bought something to bring home. The pastries are delicious!!

We toured the streets and ancient river aqueducts and talked a lot about horse racing and the winnings of the Goose. We ate lunch outside of the Siena square and raced back to our bus stop that left at 5:15pm. We arrived back in Florence and all I wanted to do was sleep, so I did. Everyone else went back out and shopped and got some type of dinner.

That brings me to, tonight, we’re taking a cooking class here in Florence, making some type of dinner and then gelato. 🙂

Ciao!
